Hill Resigns with Suns 

Post#1 » by Mr. Sun » Thu Jun 26, 2008 8:24 pm

The Phoenix Suns today announced that forward Grant Hill has exercised his player option for the 2008-09 season.

Originally signed by the Suns as a free agent on July 11, 2007, the 14-year NBA veteran proved remarkably durable in his first season in Phoenix. Hill appeared in 70 games for the Suns, his most in a single season since 1999-00, including starts in 34 consecutive contests to open the season.

Spectacular news!

He's still a 16/4/3 type player and he plays some pretty solid defense with Phoenix. He's also a good backup ball-handler.

Great news!

I was really worried he was going to retire; he had a terrific season and let's hope he can stay healthy because he was really missed against the Spurs.

I think Porter will be smarter with Hill's minutes than Mike D was so that Hill will be healthy heading into the playoffs. I think we really missed Grant Hill against the spurs.
